Heavenly Mother

Saint Faustina wrote in her diary this passage some 75 years ago today. Let us learn from her, who kept near to Jesus and Mary. 

May 1, 1937.

Today I felt the nearness of my Mother, my heavenly Mother, although before every Holy Communion I earnestly ask the Mother of God to help me prepare my soul for the coming of Her Son, and I clearly feel Her protection over me. I entreat Her to be so gracious as to enkindle in me the fire of God's love, such as burned in Her own pure heart at the time of the Incarnation of the Word of God. (Diary entry 1114)
